Colchester should edge struggling Newport here

League One/Two Tips

COLCHESTER UNITED v NEWPORT COUNTY

Saturday 8th October 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs

Football – England – League Two Betting Tips

Despite having now gone four matches without a win in League Two, Colchester United will still have confidence that they can register all three points on Saturday afternoon when they take on bottom club Newport County at their Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Colchester have picked up points on the road recently with draws at Barnet and Crawley Town but defeats to Accrington Stanley and Carlisle United have prevented The U’s from making an impression upon the top half of the division.

Colchester’s home record has been slightly inconsistent so far this season with a record of  3-0-2  11/9 recorded on home turf but the wins include victories over Cambridge United, Grimsby Town and Blackpool and they should get the nod over struggling Newport today.

Onto the visitors Newport County then, and as mentioned, The Exiles currently sit bottom of the pile in League Two three points adrift of second from bottom club Exeter City and with just one league win so far this season, today’s visitors could stumble again here today.

Since an early win at Leyton Orient, Newport County have since crumbled to seven matches without further success overall, and they head into today’s fixture on the back of three straight defeats to Doncaster Rovers, Cambridge United and Grimsby Town.

In addition, Newport’s away record stands at a poor  1-1-3  4/7 with three defeats from their last four on the road with losses incurred at Luton Town as well as the aforementioned Doncaster Rovers and Grimsby Town.

But just two clean sheets from their last 15 away matches tells its own story and I fancy the home side here.
